For decades, the conventional view is that an s-wave BCS superfluid can not support uniform spin polarization due to a gap $\Delta$ in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum. We show that this is an artifact of the dismissal of quasiparticle…
Recently, it was observed that self-interacting scalar quantum field theories having a non-Hermitian interaction term of the form $g(i\phi)^{2+\delta}$, where $\delta$ is a real positive parameter, are physically acceptable in the sense…
Spin pumping effect is a sensitive and well-established experimental method in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials. We propose that spin pumping effect can be a valuable probe for non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behaviors at the 2D interface of…
We consider elliptic systems with superlinear and subcritical boundary conditions and a bifurcation parameter as a multiplicative factor. By combining the rescaling method with degree theory and elliptic regularity theory, we prove the…

We consider minisuperspace gravity system described by piecewise flat metric discontinuous on three-dimensional faces (tetrahedra). There are infinite terms in the Einstein action. However, starting from proper regularization, these terms…
In many superconducting devices, including qubits, quasiparticle excitations are detrimental. A normal metal ($N$) in contact with a superconductor ($S$) can trap these excitations; therefore such a trap can potentially improve the devices…

When both inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken, the critical current of a superconductor can be nonreciprocal. In this work we show that in certain classes of two-dimensional superconductors with antisymmetric spin-orbit…
Universality, namely distributional invariance, is a well-known property for many random structures. For example, it is known to hold for a broad range of variational problems with random input. Much less is known about the algorithmic…
We calculate a number of observables related to particle-antiparticle mixing in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT). The resulting effective Hamiltonian for Delta F=2 transitions agrees with the one of Hubisz et al., but our…
We present extensive calculations on the efficiency of grain alignment by the Davis-Greenstein mechanism. We model the grains as oblate spheroids with arbitrary axis ratios. Our description of the grain dynamics includes (i) magnetic…
We study the mesoscopic fluctuations of thermodynamic observables in a nanosized metallic grain in which the single-particle dynamics are chaotic and the dimensionless Thouless conductance is large. Such a grain is modeled by the universal…
The recent observations of the superconducting diode effect pose the challenge to fully understand the necessary ingredients for non-reciprocal phenomena in superconductors. In this theoretical work, we focus on the non-reciprocity of the…
In an external electric field, a system of conductive grains embedded in a dielectric matrix becomes unstable and relaxes towards a conductive state. We describe and discuss the elementary acts of this relaxation. When the grains packing…
We study the parameterized post-Newtonian approximation in teleparallel model of gravity with a scalar field. The scalar field is non-minimally coupled to the scalar torsion as well as to the boundary term introduced in [1]. We show that,…
We study the phenomenological implications of effective supergravities based on string vacua with spontaneously broken N=1 supersymmetry by dilaton and moduli $F$-terms. We further require Minimal String Unification, namely that large…
Grain boundaries in ultrafine grained (UFG) materials processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) are often called "non-equilibrium" grain boundaries. Such boundaries are characterized by excess grain boundary energy, presence of long…
We discuss the phenomenology of the lightest neutralino in models where an effective bilinear term in the superpotential parametrizes the explicit breaking of R-parity. We consider supergravity scenarios where the lightest supersymmetric…
We theoretically study the effect of stripe-like superconducting inclusions on the non-linear resistivity in single crystals. Even when the stripe orientation varies throughout the sample between two orthogonal directions due to twinning,…
